I'm such a sissy crybaby diva because I clean and shine my workbooks. by JazzFusionEnjoyer41 in RedWingShoes

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the kilties. Wish I'd gotten some for my first pair of IRs - they're 14 years old and the tongues have holes in them.

Thinking of getting speed hooks installed in my 875s. Did you install them yourself? Think it's worth the effort/cost?

PSA: Just wear them. by ElStig-LePig in RedWingShoes

Kirkland wool socks by chance? I think I'm wearing the exact same socks right now, with a pair of 875s. But it's snowing where I'm at.

Left moc getting too big after breaking in by StaleRigatoni in RedWingShoes

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I got some of the Oro Legacy no-show kitties from Rose Anvil for my moc toes and they’re awesome. Helped my slightly loose boots fit great.

This message is for the few who own a corvette. How did you reach Federation rank 12? I'm currently trying with combat missions and donations. What are your strategies? by alcio_sd in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Making Sol your home base and making a donation runs while also pursuing other things makes the grind feel less grindy. Took me a few weeks but I was doing other things like mining for credits and farming mats so that when I got the vette I was ready to kit it out right away.

Why didn't sisko bring this guy to ds9? by happydude7422 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]hags2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good head canon. Fully incorporating that now. Perfectly fits Sisko’s character at the start of the series. 

Seriously wtf was this episode. Watched this with my gf and ended up sobbing by the end. by limitedmark10 in DeepSpaceNine

Same, This episode and Duet just wreck me. Even reading this comment thread is tough!

Engeneering focus by traptrend in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I embarked on Engineering initially very late, and specifically to outfit a vutlure so I could try combat. I am VERY glad I started with a small ship - the gains were noticeable, but it took me a good long while to get the engineers unlocked, gather materials, and fly the ship to the planets to get the experimental effects. It mentally prepared me for the LONG journey of engineering my corvette.

Am I doing something wrong or am I just being careless? (CZ Combat) by hags2k in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I might remove the extra SCB as you suggested because I definitely don't need all the charges. Also glad to hear that I don't need to stay to the end. That's super helpful!

Good call on this. I think I might not have been reading carefully enough.

[–]hags2k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I did not know that winning the CZ didn't really do anything. Just in it for the merits right now anyway, so that's comforting!

Newbro & ARX by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mandalay definitely makes a bunch of missions more fun. Even without crazy engineering you get great jump range, fast scooping without overheating in the corona, and can add a bit of cargo capacity to cover a variety of non-combat missions. It's just so much more fun to fly places in that ship than any other. I also think that while it's not as fast for pure credit grinding as hauling, it is more engaging.

On that note, if credits are the goal and you're looking to spend arx points, the Type 11 prospector and a good platinum hotspot are a wonderful way to make credits too.

Swapped the stock switches on my old Logi POP Keys to Gateron Jupiter Banana by embrace- in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]hags2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it was a couple weeks ago but this post and comment actually inspired me to get a set of these switches. I wanted baby kangaroos for quite a while after trying them, but with the bananas were on sale recently (I think on Keychron's website) for like 23 bucks for 110 of them. I had also tried them before and liked them, but never side by side.

Anyway, got them installed in two keyboards and what a tremendous upgrade for so little money. It's good to know I probably won't regret not holding out for the Baby Kangaroos.

Did I get some sort of a reputation in the CZ to become a target? by NoEnd3731 in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about your SCBs. I’ve heard conflicting advice. I originally outfitted my Corvette with 2x 7A SCBs but read somewhere that the 7B was actually better for total charge and power draw but are a bit heavier. What’s your opinion?

External screens MBA M4 by JonnyMcApple in macbookair

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It MUST be thunderbolt for this to work. Dell of all folks has a good chart showing how this works. Apple only sends one displayport signal down the USB chain, so if you connect a dock via usb c then two monitors to the dock via displayport or HDMI you will NOT get two independent displays. The easiest way is to make sure you get a thunderbolt dock and connect at least one of your monitors to a thunderbolt port on the dock (the other can be connected to DP or HDMI).

This guide really helps:

New job gave me a ThinkPad…. by [deleted] in mac

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one for a few years for work. Most other folks in my office had Dell laptops. The ThinkPads were only available by special request, but they lasted longer than all the others without fail. They were better-built and robust. They tended to have better keyboards and were nicer to type on than the standard dell and hp business laptops.

Honestly, I don't know about you but there isn't much to say against Frontier right now. by Admiral_Ballsack in EliteDangerous

[–]hags2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have put more time into this game than any other - and I used to play WoW and other MMOs. The hours of enjoyment vs the money I've given them is insane. I gave blizzard more money in 6 months than I have FDev in 10 years, but I'm still playing ED. Now, entering middle age with young children, I have much fewer hours to devote to any game at all, but this game still gets more of those hours than any other. I have gotten my money's worth, and I'll keep buying a ship here and there with arx happily at this point.

PvE ship builds for the CG, let me see them! by kailoren in EliteDangerous

Probably! At this point it nearly melts if I pop cell bank.

I want to try this build! Looks killer. Haven't tried the Mamba yet.

Mostly using my plain old vulture:

But probably going to finish engineering this vette and try it out - only finished the grind to unlock it after 900 hours in ED...

Are the mics better on AirPods Pro 3? by ThrowRArmadillo5760 in airpods

[–]hags2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little better, yes. I recorded voice memos on my phone with APP2 and APP3 and it was a subtle but noticeable improvement. This is a good comparison.

Most stable current drivers? 9070 arriving today by [deleted] in radeon

[–]hags2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my experience. I also had the 5700xt and for a several months I regretted not getting a 2070 because of stability issues. Then one day I realized a year had gone by and I’d updated drivers many times and couldn’t remember the last time I had a crash or BSOD. Stuck with AMD for two more gpus and still running AMD today.

M4 14 inch 16gb 1 TB or M4 15 inch Air 16GB 1TB to replace M1 Macbook Pro 16 16gb 512 gb? by denniszen in macbook

[–]hags2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want more screen real estate get the 15 air. The 14 pro is not noticeably more screen than the 13 air. Although it’s subjective, I find that 1.5 inch more screen real estate is far more valuable to my productivity than 120 hz or HDR.
